Long Cemetery is located in Mullins Cove, Marion Co., Tennesse, on the banks of the Tennessee River. This cemetery is very overgrown and the woods have just about taken over what is left of the graves that can be seen.
We have done our best to record the names and dates of the individuals that are buried in this cemetery as they appeared on their markers but mistakes can be made. If there needs to be a correction or an addition, please e-mail us at: BerryglenPlace@aol.com and we will be happy to make the addition or correction.
There are only 6 graves that we could read from the old cemetery but they have cleared land to expand. The two graves in the newer have not been listed on this cemetery list.
LONG, JAMES Born in Mullins Cove on February 11, 1855 and died April 15, 1907 in Marion Co., TN.
(information from James Long's marker)
LONG, WEOR s/o JAMES & RHODA LONG b. March 10, 1892 d. January 4, 1909

SMITH, M. F. w/o ROBERT SMITH b. November 9, 1831 d. October 8, 1892
Note: I have been told by a family member that they believe this M. F. SMITH to be
Missalee Finetta Smith but do not have any documentation to support it. There is a
sunken place in the ground next to M. F. Smith and it is not marked. This could
possibly be the grave of ROBERT SMITH.
